Robust Microsensor for pH Profiling at High pH

Profiling pH Microsensor PM-HP5-ST-high

The pH Profiling Microsensors PM-HP5-ST-high has a measurement range of 6 – 9 pH and is ideally suited for all profiling applications in semi-solid substrates such as sediments, microbial mats or biofilms. These pH microsensors are based on a 250 µm plastic fiber, which makes them very resistant to breakage or damage. These sensors have a close-fitting fiber guidance and mechanical interlock for precise vertical localization of the measurement tip. The sensor tip can be extended with a simple turning mechanism.

Applications

Microprofiling in Biological & Environmental Research

The different types of oxygen and pH microsensors allow e. g. measurements in smallest sample volumes or inside tissue. The micromanipulators should be applied whenever it is necessary to insert the microsensor safely into semi-solid samples and when exact localization and stabilization of the microsensor tip within the sample is required. Using the safe-insert function the microsensor tip can be securely inserted and localized at the exact position where you want to conduct your measurements.


Microsensor Measurements in Medical & Life Science Research

PreSens microsensors are ideal tools for medical and life science research, as they allow for precise on the spot measurement and microprofiling inside tissue constructs. The Manual Micromanipulator is the indispensable equipment in these applications for exact localization of the microsensor inside the sample and microprofiling in step sizes down to 10 μm. PreSens needle-type microsensors are used in many tissue engineering applications.


Microprofiling of Sediments & Biofilms

Together with the specially designed PreSens Profiling Microsensors (PM) the Automated Micromanipulator is the ideal tool for oxygen measurements in sediment and biofilm applications. With a free choice of step zones, travel velocities and wait times different layers inside the sample can be monitored and assessed in step sizes down to 10 μm. The software visualizes the online measurements, so you can follow gradients and identify boundaries immediately while the sensor is automatically moved inside the sample.
